Verdict
Red Scintilla is looking to return to winning ways after a victory in June whilst Monte Mayor One won here over the same trip earlier this month but we side with the progressive THINKING who just held on to win by a nose last time. Although our selection was outpaced when last seen at this track, this was on seasonal debut and more can be expected today with him only up a few pounds for his win at Catterick. Despite it being such a narrow victory he can come on for that run and we give him the nod. Red Scintilla won at Warwick last month but has disappointed since then at Doncaster after being upped in the weights. Running off the same weight again today, although a better run may be in the offing, we avoid her here. Monte Mayor One has won here this month already and is possibly the biggest threat to our selection, Thinking.
